Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2013;(6):550-552
Objective To study the impact of gender,gender role and gender traits on depression in adolescents.Methods A sample of 1330 middle school students from seven provinces in China completed Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Gender Traits Inventory.Results 27.1 percents of participants displayed the symptoms of depression.The mean score of males of BDI was 10.04 ± 8.38 while that of females was 10.33 ± 8.37,indicating that there was no sex differences in depression of adolescents(P=0.535).The participants could be classified into 4 sex role types:masculine,feminine,androgynous and undifferentiated,and the BDI mean score of each type was 9.51 ± 7.66,12.30 ± 8.81,9.14 ± 8.10,10.72 ± 8.66,and significant differences were found among adolescents with different gender roles (P =0.000).BDI scores of the feminine adolescents were the highest among the four gender roles,which were significantly higher than scores of the masculine and androgynous adolescents (P =0.000).Regression analysis indicated that adolescents with more positive masculine traits tended to be less depressive (t =-4.966,P < 0.01) while adolescents with more negative masculine (t =2.574,P < 0.01) or feminine (t =10.566,P < 0.01)traits tended to be more depressive.Conclusion Gender role rather than gender has greater impacts on adolescent depression,and specifically,positive masculine traits represent protective factors for depression.

Journal of Modern Laboratory Medicine 2015;(1):98-100
Objective To analyse the role of haptoglobin in the immunomodulatory in patients with premature coronary heart disease.Methods Clinical data of 60 premature coronary heart disease patients and 40 healthy people was analysed.The general information and serume haptoglobin,hs-CRP and IL-6 were compared.Results There were no statistically difference between the two groups of the general information such as sex,years,BMI,hypertension and diabetes (P>0.05),excepts the smoking history(27/33 vs 9/31,χ2=3.324,P<0.05).Hp,hs-CRP and IL-6 levels in the observer group were signifi-cantly higher than the control group,the difference was statistically significant (97.76±23.08 mg/L vs 65.81±19.42 mg/L,10.43±3.81 mg/L vs 3.05±0.94 mg/L,16.43±4.59 pg/L vs 4.62±1.83 pg/L,P<0.001).Correlation analysis showed that in the observer group Hp and hs-CRP showed a significant positive correlation (r=0.518,P<0.001),and the same results was found between IL-6 and Hp (r= 0.291,P=0.024).Conclusion Haptoglobin level was significantly in-creased in patients with coronary heart disease,which suggested that haptoglobin played a role in the development of coro-nary heart disease,and its level was correlated with IL-6.

Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2004;10(7):439-440
Objective To observe the effect of tai chi chuan on anneal dyspnea and endurance stamina of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods 80 COPD patients were randomly divided into control group (n=40) and training group (n=40). The common therapy of two groups was the same; but the training group was added with Chen style tai chi chuan training for 30 minutes one day. At the same time, all patients were evaluated about the dyspnesa exponent before and after 3 months training.Results There were no significant differences in FEV1(%), FEV1/FVC(%),heart rate and breath frequency/minute before and after treatment (P>0.05) between two groups, but in dyspnea exponent, there was a significant difference between two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Tai chi chuan training can reduce the symptom of COPD patients.

AIM: To study the instant effect of circumstance temperature on mechanical properties of single living intact human red blood cell. METHODS: The shape, size, membrane bending elastic modulus and shear elastic modulus of single living intact red blood cell was determined with non-invasive, in situ, real time by employing a static micro-image analyzing and a dynamic micro-image analyzing system. RESULTS: The contact area and diameter of red blood cells were decreased as the temperature increased from 35 ℃ to 43 ℃. The membrane bending elastic modulus and shear elastic modulus of single living intact red blood cell were the least at physiological temperature 37 ℃. CONCLUSION: Red blood cells are easy to carry out their physiological functions such as carrying oxygen to all of the body with the best shape and mechanical deformation at 37 ℃.

Objective To explore the relationship between viral encephalitis(VE)and Borna disease virus(BDV)infection,and discuss the clinical features of viral encephalitis patients infected by BDV.Methods The p24 gene fragment of BDV in cerebrospinal fluid mononuclear cells(CSFMC)from 32 patients with viral encephaliris and 34 healthy individuals were examined by fluorescence quantitative nested reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(FQ-nRT-PCR),in which, β-actin was used as internal reference. The clinical manifestations of patients with positive BDV p24 were watched. And the gene sequence,homology and amino acid sequence of positive products were analyzed. Results The positive rate(4/32,12.5%)of BDV p24 in CSFMC of patients with viral encephalitis was significantly higher than that of healthy individuals(0/34,0%),P<0.05,and the numbers of copies of BDV p24 in CSFMC of VE patients were more than 102/μl. Compared with the sequences of the standard strain Ⅴ and the virus strain H1766 of BDV from horse supplied by GenBank,the homology of the gene sequence of positive product of CSFMC was 95.35% and 98.84% with gene mutation in 4 sites(nt1649 T→C, nt1656 G→A,nt1670 C→T, nt1676 C→T). The genetic relationship between the positive product and the virus strain BDV from horse was the nearest. The clinical features of VE patients with positive BDV p24 were mainly by mental and behavior disorders. Conclusion The occurrence of VE patients in the city of Zunyi in Guizhou province may be associated with BDV infection. The clinical features of VE patients with positive BDV p24 were mainly mental and behavior disorders.

A total of 104 patients with cervical squamous cell cancer (Figo Ⅰ b2-Ⅱ b) were recruited during March 2006 and October 2011.One group (A,n =50) received preoperative intravenous neoadjuvant chemotherapy while another group (B,n =54) had interventional arterial chemotherapy plus bilateral uterine artery embolization.Surgery was performed for those with a change of cancer size either as complete or partial remission at Week 2 post-chemotherapy according to the WHO evaluation criteria.Otherwise radiotherapy was implemented.The ratio of surgery after chemotherapy was 70% (n =35) in Group A versus 87% (n =47) in Group B (P < 0.05).For Group A,there were blood vessel invasion (n =6,17%),lymph node metastasis (n =8,23%) and positive margin (n =1,3%).For Group B,(n =7,15%),(n =9,21%) and (n =1,2%).There was no significant inter-group statistic difference (P > 0.05).Preoperative chemotherapy is effective for cervical squamous cancer (tumor diameter > 4 cm)with fewer side effects.

Background: The prevalence of ulcerative colitis (UC) in China has significantly increased in recent years,and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) may be closely related to the development of UC.Aims: To study the effect of vitamin D3 on expression of TLR4 in the intestinal mucosa in colitis model in rats.Methods: Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal control group,model group and vitamin D3 group.Rats in model group and vitamin D3 group were given trinitro-benzene-sulfonic acid (TNBS) to induce colitis model.Rats in vitamin D3 group were given vitamin D3.HE staining was performed,and disease activity index (DAI) and colon histopathological score were evaluated,the expression of TLR4 was measured by immunohistochemistry.Results: Compared with normal control group,DAI and histopathological score in model group were significantly increased (P<0.05),and expression of TLR4 was significantly increased (P<0.05).After giving vitamin D3,DAI and histopathological score were significantly decreased (P<0.05),and expression of TLR4 was significantly decreased (P<0.05).Conclusions: The expression of TLR4 is increased in colon tissue in colitis model in rats,which may be involved in the pathogenesis of UC.Vitamin D3 can alleviate intestinal inflammation via inhibiting expression of TLR4,thereby playing a role in the adjunctive therapy of UC.
